If you want to enjoy the rewards of successful joint venture marketing (and there are many) here are five things to think about and do…
1) Get Serious! Pull up your socks, roll up your sleeves and make a firm decision to get joint ventures working for you in new and powerful ways!
Simply making the decision to leverage this high ROI strategy opens your mind and heart to new opportunities and new relationships. The pieces start to fall into place ~ not by magic ~ rather, your decision jump starts your brain and it gets to work figuring out how to make it happen (okay, sometimes that can be quite magical!).
2) BE the kind of joint venture partner you’d like to attract. One of the best ways to learn the lay of the land is to participate in other people’s joint ventures. You can get an inside glance at their systems and promotional materials. And, what goes around comes around… it’s the doing that will get the laws of attraction and reciprocity working in your favour!
3) Get into the game. Not sure WHO to joint venture with or HOW to put an attractive joint venture program together? You’re not alone. My best advice? Stop sitting on the sidelines. In addition to participating in joint ventures, become a student of joint venture marketing. Read books; search the web; listen to tele-seminars; take a course; find a mentor or coach. Identify the gaps and barriers holding you back and start learning exactly what you need to know to be empowered to take action.
4) Leverage proven systems. Dramatically increase your odds of success by leveraging proven systems and processes. Based on your joint venture marketing goals/plans this could include:
- Joint Venture Marketing Action Plan
- Templates and Checklists
- Client Management System
- Follow Up/Keep in Touch System
- etc…
5) Brainstorm and Mastermind with like-minded joint-venturous women in business online. Imagine the momentum and success you can create with a community of like-minded, supportive, caring women cheering you on, and taking action to do what they can to support your success…
It sounds incredible doesn’t it?
So what are you waiting for? Learn how to leverage relationships. Discover the power of a mastermind environment and tap into practical marketing skills and must-have mindsets, both are key to achieving success – on your terms – but not alone.
If you’re really serious about learning to leverage joint ventures to grow your business this year, you can Get Ready to JV in just 4 short weeks. My new READY TO JV Course covers EXACTLY what you need to know in step-by-step detail to start creating and leveraging your own successful joint ventures.
The course begins Wednesday March 10th and the first 20 women to register save $100.00. Act fast and you could be one of the first five to receive a 30 minute joint venture strategy session with me.
Can you tell I like to reward action takers? Action is where the magic happens 
Just one successful joint venture can dramatically up-level your business.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Do you remember paper fortune tellers from when you were younger?
My friends and I used to make them – all the time! They were SO much fun!!
If only making decisions in REAL life and business could be this easy
Unfortunately, there’s only one way to feel confident about what the future holds for us… and that is to act on decisions now – today – that support a future we want to experience.
So… how do you make BIG decisions when fear has you shaking in your booties?
The first step is to recognize that fear isn’t always a stop sign.
There is a difference between fear that stems from true danger and fear that stems from stepping beyond your comfort zone.
Here’s my best advice if fear is keeping you from making and acting on a big decision:
• Remember, fear isn’t always a stop sign.
• Seek the truth. (YOUR truth)
• Breath.
• Get clear about the fear. Feel it then face it.
• Be honest and compassionate with yourself. A massive degree of honesty is required. Don’t beat yourself up for feeling scared.
• Listen for your authentic voice amidst the mind chatter. It is there. You already know the answers.
• Decide and take action.
• Seek Inspiration. (Need a little extra motivation? Watch the Dare Change Video)
“I have accepted fear as a part of life – specifically the fear of change…. I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back.” ~Erica Jong
Does the fear you are experiencing stem from true danger? What is your reality?
Developing an equity-rich mindset will empower you to get to the truth behind your fears so you can make decisions and act on them quickly and confidently.
Join me for the Equity-Rich Women Online Teleseries, we’re going to be covering “Five Mindset Shifts Essential to an Equity-Rich Business Online” on call #4.
Good luck!

P.S. For those of you wishing to revisit a piece of your childhood, here’s how to make a paper fortune teller Have fun!
This post is a re-run, originally posted in June of 2009 after someone burst my bubble – big time! I’m re-posting it today in response to a conversation with one of my awesome VIP clients. You see, someone burst HER bubble this week and I’m on a mission to help her (and you) to bounce back fast if/when it happens to you!
Let me ask you…
Have you ever put yourself out there with a new product, program or service and experienced an immediate and totally unexpected backlash?
That’s what happened to me…
And I can tell you, it felt like I had been punched in the gut! I’m not kidding. I was completely winded. My initial reaction was to curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out. It hurt.
I did cry but thanks to the incredible women (and a few men) that I mastermind with, I was able to pick myself up, dust myself off – all in record time!
Here’s the really cool part…
When I was in the midst of the frustration, anger, self-doubt (ohhhh the self doubt!) and plain old stuckness that comes with any kind of reaction you’re not prepared for, my intuition kicked into gear and I reached out to my mastermind for… HELP!
I posted my situation to our mastermind forum and shared my heartache. Within minutes I had people who truly care about me and my success sending me virtual hugs, sharing their own bubble bursting experiences and helping me to move forward again.
There’s no info product, article or eBook that could have impacted me the way this group of amazing women did that day (and still do).
If you’re going through anything similar, I want you to know that you’re not alone.
And that there are some really simple things you can do to manage the fear and self-doubt that comes with any kind of negative response …
1. Get out of your head and follow your heart.
When you’re in the midst of a painful situation it’s easy to curl up in a ball and completely shut down or, the oppositive, to lash out too quickly.
The negative self-talk we all experience is louder and nastier than ever.
The key is to get out of your head and follow your heart. Challenge the self-talk and compare it to the truths you hold in your heart. The sooner you do this, the quicker you’ll bounce back – stronger than ever!
2. Reach out and ask for help.
My mentor reminded me of something this week…
There’s a big myth that exists in our minds that admitting our fear somehow makes us weak or unsuccessful. And I agree with Marie… this is total baloney.
Here’s her advice on this one:
“I feel fear regularly…especially when I’m in the midst of creating a lot of cool, new stuff.
When you step outside of the norms in business and life, expect some fear. Just don’t let it stop you.
The best thing to do is to gently call yourself out on it and more importantly, call a friend.
The secret is to share your fear from a neutral place (meaning: don’t FREAK out and believe your fearful thoughts) and allow your friend to “talk you back from the ledge.”
3. Fail Forward and Take Immediate Action.
A philosophy that serves me well is the idea that every “failure” offers an opportunity to grow. In fact, the Chinese symbol for “crisis” also represents “opportunity”.
When something goes wrong or doesn’t unfold according to plan, rather than view it as a failure and get caught up in your head like I mentioned earlier. Get into action.
Here’s what I mean…
Rather than continue to moan and groan and feel angry and frustrated with the negative reaction I encountered just days before, I re-focused positive energy to the new Equity-Rich Women Online programs I have prepared for 2010.
I mapped out my virtual and live retreats programs, organized the time lines, created content and then celebrated with my honey.
I’ve had the privilege to be part of amazing masterminds. Surrounding myself with people who really care about my success makes all the difference in the world. When you have this, it’s pretty difficult to really fail.
I’m so excited to launch these new programs. They’re infused with the essentials I’ve identified for creating my own fun, fame and fortune with the goal that they will become your reason why it’s impossible for you to fail.
Setbacks can be the ideal fodder for mega creativity – if you get out of your head, ask for help and… fail forward.
Okay…
I’ve gotta run. We are snowed in this week and I’m helping my Mom-in-Law with a big pot of soup for the boys who are snow blowing driveways, sidewalks and streets in the neighbourhood.
Have the best week ever and I’ll talk with you again soon. Calls 2 and 3 in the Equity-Rich Women Online Tele-series are this week!

If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll recognize the title of this blog “Don’t Just Do It… REALLY Do It” as one of my success mantras.
I rarely do anything for the fluff factor. My goal – always – is to fully engage and take action like a pro.
So you wont be surprised that this quote caught my eye the other day (grin).
“After all is said & done, a lot more will have been said than done.” ~ Author Unknown
It got me thinking about how often this is the case. How knowing what to do doesn’t necessarily = actually doing it.
So I want to challenge YOU – the amazing success-driven women in business online that I love to motivate – to pay very close attention to the possible disconnect between your goals and the actual steps you take to achieve them.
Let’s take it one step further, and I hope you’ll play with me on this by commenting below…
What is one purposeful thing you can do this coming week to take it up a notch? To do something better or bigger than ever before or to do something you know you should do but have put off?
Dreams don’t become reality on their own… so let’s start building that bridge between your dreams and your dreams come true! Need I say more?
.
P.S. “Don’t just do it, really do it” is just one of my success mantras. Join me for a free tele-series where I’ll reveal my “equity-rich” philosophies that will get you thinking bigger and doing more than ever before!
I’ve been keeping a secret.
And I’m so relieved to be able to fess up today…
Many of you have inquired about my plans to announce a high-level coaching program for 2010 and the answer is YES!
I’m ready to give you a sneak peek of my Equity-Rich Women Online Programs for 2010!
First, those of you following me for a while know that I’m NOT a cookie-cutter kind of gal so you can bet your booties that these programs are totally original. (And I tend to over-deliver too which is always good news for you he he!)
The programs are 8-months versus a year which alone makes them distinctive and what’s REALLY cool is that you can stretch your investment over 12 months. (Now THAT is unheard of!)
I have 3 primary mantras for my own business that are the cornerstones of my programs:
1) Don’t just do it, REALLY do it.
My secret sauce and the secret to the rapid success my clients experience is a direct result of what I call “catalyst” strategies. I seek maximum impact (not perfection) in everything I do. Why inch along when you can leap every step of the way?
2) I *leverage* therefore I Grow.
The art of leverage is essential to working smarter not harder. It’s not about working harder (or perfection), it’s about getting more out of what you’re already doing and even getting more with LESS effort. It’s the key to a freedom-based equity-rich business.
3) K.I.S.S. Keep It Strategically Simple.
Nine times out of ten my clients over-think and complicate aspects of their business growth that can (and should) be quick and easy. And, nine times out of ten my clients place the proverbial cart before the horse meaning strategy gets thrown out the window. I prefer a straight-forward no B.S. approach to taking purposeful action and getting the right things done.
Can you see how these mantras greatly support the rapid growth of success-driven women?
If even one of these declarations resonates with you I encourage you to at least look into these ground-breaking 8-month programs. You can read more about the programs and download the official application form here: http://www.ginabellinc.com/erw/
Making a commitment to any high level program requires serious consideration. So, to remove any doubt and to provide a sneak peek of what you can look forward to I’ll be hosting a (free) preview tele-series “Success-Driven Women Create Equity-Rich Businesses Online”. It starts Wednesday January 20th and you can register at http://www.ginabellinc.com/erw/preview
Here’s what Kimberly has to say about her coaching experience with me:
And she’s coming back in 2010 to up-level her success again!
With minimal space in these totally unique programs (just 8 7 spaces for the platinum mastermind tier) and early bird savings and bonuses for those who act fast, I really wanted to give you the edge of advance notice before the programs go public in a bigger way.
Just think about the projects and ideas you have for your business that you’ve either been too scared or too time-strapped to implement. Now you’ll have a dedicated coach AND mastermind team to hold your feet to the fire, to validate and strengthen YOUR ideas beyond your own abilities. A coach and colleagues ready to talk you down off the ledge of fear and doubt so you can finally take your business to new successful heights beyond your wildest dreams!
If you are even the tiniest bit intrigued by the possibilities that exist for you and KNOW that going it alone isn’t getting you where you really want to be, that’s what my Equity-Rich Women Online programs are all about.
I am so excited about these new programs and I’d LOVE to work closer with you.
All my best,
P.S. Not interested in a “group” program? Take a look at the Platinum Tier One-to-One Coaching option when you download the application.
P.P.S. Looking for high-level support without the high-level investment? Take a look at the Essentials Program. It’s an affordable no-travel required option for success-driven women.
P.P.S.S. Not sure you’re ready to make an 8 month commitment? While it’s better than 12 months, it’s not for everyone. My VIP Daily Web Coaching program may be exactly what you’re looking for. It’s a unique spin on high level personalized coaching that brings new meaning to “meet-you-where-you’re-at” support. http://www.ginabellinc.com/pwc
